The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of education for sustainable development (ESD) approaches in English as a foreign language (EFL) in Japanese higher education.,A content and language integrated learning (CLIL) University-level course was run over two separate semesters: the first as a lecture-based course and the second was a similar course that integrated ESD best-practice. A program effects case study was used to see if any significant changes could be measured between the separate semesters. A mixed-methods approach to data collection was used and student marks, survey results using values, beliefs and norms (VBN) model and reflection tasks were collected across the two courses.,A meaningful change in the ascription of responsibility and personal norms was present in the ESD best-practice course. This shows that ESD best-practice integration into language teaching has a positive impact on student environmental VBN and more research is necessary for this area.,ESD integrated into language teaching correlates positively with environmental behavior change according to the VBN-model. A new field of study is proposed, language education for sustainable development, to better integrate the disciplines of EFL and ESD.,This study is looking at the integration of ESD in language teaching and CLIL based courses in Higher Education and, at present, there are no other studies of this kind.

促进语言教育促进可持续发展：日本高等教育的计划效果案例研究

本研究的目的是检验日本高等教育中以英语作为外语（EFL）的可持续发展教育（ESD）方法的有效性。内容和语言综合学习（CLIL）大学水平的课程已结束分两个学期：第一个是基于讲座的课程，第二个是将ESD最佳实践整合在一起的类似课程。使用程序效果案例研究来查看在单独的学期之间是否可以测量到任何重大变化。在这两个课程中，使用了一种混合方法进行数据收集的方法，并采用了学生评分，使用价值观，信念和规范（VBN）模型的调查结果以及反思任务的方法。在责任归属和个人规范方面存在着有意义的变化在ESD最佳实践课程中。这表明，将ESD最佳实践整合到语言教学中对学生的环境VBN具有积极影响，并且对此领域还需要进行更多的研究。根据VBN模型，将ESD整合到语言教学中与环境行为的变化呈正相关。提出了一个新的研究领域，即促进可持续发展的语言教育，以更好地整合EFL和ESD的学科。该研究旨在探讨ESD在高等教育的语言教学和基于CLIL的课程中的整合，目前，没有其他此类研究。
